obama out of office. isn't it interesting that john sununu says that the only reason colin powell supported him is because he's black. does that mean any time a white politician is supported by a white person that there's a racial element there. how ridiculous is that? african-american people are held to a different standard, are not seen as american, are lazy. by projecting all these stereotypes, it's not the president of the united states being insulted, it's the entirety of african-american people. that's why this insult rings so powerfully. that's why it's dangerous and why i think mitt romney is a coward for not stepping up and speaking out about the vistriol is spewing. >> it's been a terrible week for the romney campaign. a bad debate on monday night. the mourdock explosion on the war on will. him lying to the people in ohio about shipping jobs overseas and now you have his top surrogate saying, you know when you look at colin powell, there might be another reason he's supporting barack obama. i do

president obama was advised by satan. further proof we live in a fallen world destined for hell fire. now that's just a sampling. conservatives focusing on the innuendo simply are missing the point. there's nothing explicit here. humor is used to make serious points about policies affecting the audience dunham is speaking to, and empowering them and getting them to go out and vote. listen, if republicans want to know who is responsible for the joke comparing voting to sex, well, they should take a look at their own party. let's go back to 1980. >> i know what it's like the first time you pull that republican lever because i used to be a democrat myself. i can tell you, it only hurts for a minute. and then you'll feel just great. >> get a life, republicans. tonight in our survey i asked, is lying the only way mitt romney can win in ohio? 98% of you said yes. 2% of you said no. >>> coming up, mitt romney has promised if he's elected, he will repeal obama care on day one. if this happens, people with preexisting conditions,
